MFA Graphic Design admission for 2016

[soysauce1030]

Hello everyone~

I am applying for this year for 2016, MFA Graphic Design programs. I graduated bachelor's degree in Fashion design and textile from South Korea and I am seriously considering change my career to visual communication. So I am looking into 3 year programs for MFA Graphic Design.

My list is Calarts, RISD, Yale and Otis

It is slim chance (I know) but do you think there is any chance of getting in depending on the portfolio? Is there anybody who got accepted for MFA GD without BFA degree of GD or GD career experience?

Is there anyone applying the same list of schools?

I don't think you have to worry about not having a BFA in graphic design. As is the case with most MFA programs unless it is specifically stated otherwise, you don't need to have a degree in the field to which you're applying to get in. If you have a strong portfolio and application overall, you'll be fine.
